Ant build uses JDK 1.3 instead of 1.4 [message #110091]

I am doing an ant build of my plug-in with the Eclipse-generated build.xml.
I use assertions in some places, which are compiled just fine by the IDE as
long as I set the Java compiler version to 1.4. However, when I run the ant
build it gives me a compilation error for every assertion.
Is there another place where I need to set the JDK?

The build.xml that is generated by "Create Ant Build file" has the following
properties defined:

<property name="javacSource" value="1.3"/>
<property name="javacTarget" value="1.1"/>

You should modify these to be 1.4 and 1.2 respectively (either by editing
the file or by using arguments: -DjavacSource=1.4...etc)

And to better set this for all future generated buildfiles...see
Window>Preferences>Plug-In Development>Build Option

Are you talking about Eclipse 3.0? I am using 2.1.1.
In build.xml there are no such properties, and adding them doesn't change
anything.
Also the Preferences dialog doesn't have any Build Option.
Should I move to Eclipse 3.0?

If you don't state the build that you are using I assume 3.0 :-)
If you move to 3.0 you can follow the instructions I gave.
